MrBeast Purchases Neighborhood for Employee Housing.

YouTube star MrBeast has purchased five homes in a North Carolina neighborhood for approximately $2 million, with the intention of providing housing for himself, his family, and his employees. With a net worth of $54 million, MrBeast has made a name for himself through viral stunts and expensive giveaways. His latest investment in real estate is reminiscent of the company towns of the late 19th century, where workers were isolated and dependent on their employers.
